All car drivers should be made to ride a motorbike for a year before they can drive a car.
All new drivers should be restricted to 800 c.c. or less for the first 2 years.
Driving along with music blaring, windows down, leaning forward out of your seat (why???) and being a general [ed: naughty] should be banned or an escape clause for the insurance companies.
Oh yes, I nearly forgot, everyone should be made to ride a horse at least once a month.
Maybe then ... everyone would know and appreciate how everyone else feels :wink:

Parasites in dog poo can cause blindness in children. Anyone who does not clear up after their dog obviously does not care about this or is ignorant.

I think it's more correct to say that the parasites can cause blindness in children who are allowed to come into contact with dog poo. Surely at least some of the the responsibility is with the parents here?
I've always taken the view that if it's somewhere people are walking all the time (like a public foot path, or the pavement around a residential area), I'll clean it up, but I'm not running off between the trees in the woods where foxes, deer, and all other kinds of fauna are doing their business too.

And more to the point, how are they supposed to clean up after their guide dog? :-)
For anyone who is wondering, I can provide the answer. The dogs are trained to do their business on command, and are taken out doors for that purpose before going out "on duty".

I have two dogs. Around home we don't clean up after them. Only if they poo on the drive. :roll: No pavements, parks ect. Just single track lanes and fields. But if we go in more public places we do. As to cyclists. I cycle, though not as much as I used to. When we where out with a group, (not the head down, R's up variety) if a car approached from behind, a rider at the rear would shout and we would fall into single file. I also fall into some of the other classes mentioned. Ex horse owner, motorcyclist, walker and I've even owned cats. As we know, there are people in all groups who are either selfish or just plain ignorant. All we can do is try not to be like them. BTW. Now the cows are out in the fields, the dogs really enjoy cleaning the 90's mud flaps and under the car's mudguards. :D
